TeacherEase Mobile App Enhancements
September 27, 2019
TeacherEase has recently been working on mobile apps. In their latest release, they upgraded the iOS TeacherEase parent/student app to receive notifications when events occur in the system (grade is entered, student is marked absent, announcement is sent, etc). Users stay updated without needing to login.
They implemented mobile notifications by leveraging the Feed already within TeacherEase. Whenever a feed item is generated, it can be pushed out as mobile app notification and/or email. Users control which actions create Feed items and notifications.
They think notifications can improve the user experience, and Pleasant Hill Schools agrees! Users often prefer knowing about events immediately, rather than searching for them repeatedly. Some users login to TeacherEase frequently to check for updates, and notifications can reduce this effort.
To receive notifications, install the TeacherEase app and enable notifications.
This release builds upon recent updates allowing the mobile app to stay logged into TeacherEase. After initial login, users can access the app with pin, fingerprint, and/or faceid authentication. If you’re still using Safari on iOS, TeacherEase suggests installing the app; it’s much more convenient.
TeacherEase also has other mobile projects under development. For example, they are working on an Android version, which should be ready in a couple months.
TeacherEase and Pleasant Hill CUSD #3 hopes you enjoy the new features!
